2 What is a contact investigation? What is a contact investigation? Systematic process to identify, evaluate, and treat persons exposed to a person with infectious TB disease. The goals of a contact investigation are to successfully stop TB transmission and prevent future cases and outbreaks of TB disease. Why is contact investigation important? Why is contact investigation important? Approximately 1% of all TB contacts have TB disease at the time of the contact investigation and are in need of treatment. Additionally, about 20% 30% of persons exposed are infected with M. tuberculosis and are at risk for developing TB disease if not diagnosed and treated for TB infection. Every diagnosis of TB started as an exposure! 2
3 Who is responsible for contact investigation? We are! Health departments are accountable for ensuring contact investigations are performed for TB reported in their jurisdictions, even when patients are receiving care outside the health department. Whenever contact investigation activities are delegated, the health department should work with those involved to ensure that the local policies and procedures are followed. Initiation of a Contact Investigation Infectious Period The Interview Other Considerations Overview 3
4 What Characteristics Should We Consider in Our Decision to Initiate an Investigation? Initiate Site of disease Pulmonary, laryngeal, pleural Smear results + AFB Smears AFB or (not performed) Cavities in lung (via CXR) +NAA (or not performed) Do not initiate Site of disease Extrapulmonary Smear results NAA negative Other considerations AFB or (not performed) Abnormal CXR not consistent with TB 4
5 What is the Infectious Period? Open 3 months before diagnosis Earlier w/ known symptoms Close Effective treatment for >2 weeks Diminished symptoms Mycobacteriologic response CDC Self Study Modules on Tuberculosis, Module 8 Contact Investigations for Tuberculosis, Pg 21 5
6 CDC Self Study Modules on Tuberculosis, Module 8 Contact Investigations for Tuberculosis, Pg 21 Why do We Establish an Infectious Period? Focuses investigation on contacts most at risk for infection Sets time frame for testing contacts The infectious period is an estimate 6
7 Exposure Grading Settings By Size "1" being the size of a vehicle or car "2" the size of a bedroom "3" the size of a house "4" a size larger than a house Where Do We Begin? Systematic Approach to Contact Investigation Identified by CDC as best approach to CI Actual sequence varies Follow programs policy and guidance All steps comprise effective CI 7
8 Systematic Approach to Contact Investigation; Steps Review existing information 2. Determine an initial estimate for the infectious period and estimate the degree of infectiousness 3. Interview the patient 4. Review information and develop a plan for the investigation 5. Refine the infectious period and degree of infectiousness Systematic Approach to Contact Investigation; Steps Prioritize Contacts 7. Conduct field visits 8. Conduct contact assessment 9. Determine whether to expand or conclude an investigation 10. Evaluate the contact investigation actives 8
9 Preparing for An Interview Medical records Attending RN Schedule a visit Know what you need Questions & Answers: Know Your Stuff Who do you live with? How many children in the home? Where and with whom do you spend your free time? Are you married? Do you have a boy/girl friend? Where do you work? Who do you work with, eat your lunch with, drive to work with? Do you work with children? When was your last vacation? Where did you go, who did you stay with, was there any children there, how did you get there? Who comes into your home on a regular basis? Have you ever know anyone with TB? 9
10 Initial Visit Establish rapport Explain confidentiality Provide education Infectious period Contact Investigation Process Conduct interview How Can We Establish Rapport? Identify yourself Identify your role Approach Know when to step away! 10
11 Spend the First Minutes, Inquiring About the Patients Health and Well being How do you feel? What questions can I answer for you? What type of worries do you have? Keeping It Confidential It s the law Make it a partnership Role play Make it clear Essential to maintain credibility 11
12 Educational Resources Pictures provide a lot of information with out a lot of words and are understood as a common language. Give Information Simply Avoid jargon CI AII DOT Mask Contacts Reputable resources Pictures for reference 12
13 Conducting an Interview Information exchange Interviewing skills Contact info What Factors Affect Information Exchange? Cultural factors Language Using interpreters Communication Skills 13
14 Cross Cultural Communication 1. Awareness of one s own cultural values Are you attentive to your own preconceived notions of other cultural groups? 2. Awareness and acceptance of cultural differences Do you look for opportunities to meet and interact with individuals who are from cultures other than your own? 3. Development of cultural knowledge Are you familiar with the worldviews of cultural groups other than your own? 4. Ability to adapt practice skills to fit the cultural context of the case Do you have the know how to navigate cross cultural case interactions? 61.8 Million People in the United States Speak a Language Other Than English at Home Less likely to receive care Less likely to understand care Increased risk of medical errors Reduced quality of care Center for Immigration Studies: one in five us residents speaks languageother than english at home Increased risk of unethical care Less satisfied with care 14
15 Understanding the Interpretation Process The interview should be conducted in the primary language of the interviewee What is the role of the interpreter? Who should interpret? Interpreter etiquette Communication Interviewing Techniques Use of open ended questions Active listening Tone of voice Assertive/Passive/Aggressive Questions to avoid 15
16 What Is an Open Ended Question? This is! Open ended Who else lives in the home with you? How do you spend your free time? What number can you best be reached at? Close Ended Do you live alone? Do you go bowling, or to church? Do you have a cell phone? Verbal Paraphrasing and summarizing What I m hearing is Reflection Nonverbal How Can I Show That I am Actively Listening? It seems to me that you might be feeling Silence Body language 16
17 Tone of Voice Tone involves volume you use level and type of emotion communicated Emphasis that you place on the words that you choose The tone of your message can drastically change your meaning Your doing a great job Assertive/Passive/Aggressive Assertive: To maintain one s rights without compromising the rights of others Tell me more about Susan Passive: To relinquish one s rights in deference of others Can you please tell me more about Susan Aggressive: To demand one s rights at the expense of others You need to tell me more about Susan 17
18 What Are Some Interviewing Pitfalls? Leading questions You Know What a Leading Question is Right? Asking several questions at once Who lives with you, are you married, how many kids do you have, tell me about visitors Interrupting Putting the person on the spot Not providing enough time to answer What Do We Do with the Information? Post Interview Investigation plan Assigning priorities to contacts Evaluate Follow up Data Reporting 18
19 What are the Factors for Assigning Priorities to Contacts? Characteristics of the index patient Characteristics of exposed persons Age Immune status Other medical conditions Prioritization identified as high, medium, or low based on: Likelihood of infection Potential hazard to the individual contact if infected. Evaluating Identified Contacts Evaluation Symptoms review Face to face assessment TST or IGRA HIV testing recommended FAQ: What if the contact received BCG? 19
20 Interpreting Skin Test Reaction 5 mm induration is positive for any contact Do not use two step testing A positive BIC TST should be classified as recently infected FAQ: Can an expectant mother be tested? Evaluation and Follow up of Children <5 Years Always assigned a high priority Full diagnostic medical evaluation If TST <5 mm of induration and last exposure <8 weeks, Window Period Prophylaxis recommended Second TST 8 10 weeks after exposure; decision to treat is reconsidered Negative TST treatment discontinued Positive TST treatment continued 20
21 Minimum of Two Interviews Should Be Conducted First interview should be conducted 1business day of reporting for symptomatic patients 3 business days for others Second interview conducted 1 2 weeks later Data Collection Management of care and follow up Epidemiologic analysis Program evaluation Collected on standardized forms Electronic storage recommended 21
22 What is a Field/Site Visit? Visiting the patient s home shelter, workplace (if any), and the other places where the patient said he/she spent time while infectious. The purpose of the field investigation is to identify contacts and evaluate the environmental characteristics of the place in which exposure occurred. Should be conducted 1 2 weeks after initial interview. Correctional Facilities Congregate Settings Shelters Work places Health Care Facilities Schools 22
23 Congregate Settings Incomplete information Confidentiality Collaboration Legal implications Media coverage Worried well When Should We Expand an Investigation? Unexpected large positivity rate. >10% community rate Evidence of secondary transmission Program objectives achieved Expand to low priority contacts 8 10 weeks after last exposure. 23
24 What is TB Genotyping? TB Genotyping or fingerprinting : is a laboratory based method that can determine the genetic pattern of the strain of M. tuberculosis that caused TB disease in a person. Identify unsuspected relationships between patients Locate unusual transmission settings Uncover transmission between jurisdictions Evaluate completeness of contact investigation Promptly identify false positive cultures Detect and investigate outbreaks sooner When Can We Stop? All exposed persons have been evaluated Those infected have completed or are near completion of treatment No additional disease was found 24
25 What is a Proxy Interview? A Contact Investigation must still be done even if it is not possible to interview the index patient. Proxy Interview Interviews conducted with someone other that the patient. Proxies Family member, close friend, or someone who knows the patient well. Why Proxy? Patient is unavailable: Deceased, difficult to locate, medically or psychologically unable to participate in an interview Confidentiality Risk What is a Source Case Investigation? Source case investigation: A method used to identify a source case; usually done when a young child is found to have TB disease. Considered when Child < 5 has been diagnosed with TBD An infant <2 has been diagnosed with LTBI Healthcare setting where serial TB testing indicates recent infection Correctional facilities where TB testing indicates an increase in M. TB infection among inmates and staff. A source case investigation moves in the opposite direction of a CI but the same principles apply. 25
26 Not all contacts with substantial exposure are identified during the contact investigation! Every diagnosis began as an Every (unidentified/unevaluated) diagnosis began as an exposure! exposure! They always come back! 26
